A chronicle of the Cristeros War (1926-1929), which was touched off
by a rebellion against the Mexican government’s attempt to secularize
the country.
What price would you pay for freedom? In the exhilarating action epic
For Greater Glory (formerly titled Cristiada), an impassioned group of
men and women each make the decision to risk it all for family, faith
and the very future of their country, as General Gorostieta (Andy Garcia),
the retired military man who at first thinks he has nothing personal at
stake as he and his wife (Eva Longoria) watch Mexico fall into a
violent civil war. Yet the man who hesitates in joining the cause will
soon become the resistance’s most inspiring and self-sacrificing leader,
as he begins to see the cost of religious persecution on his
countrymen… and transforms a rag-tag band of rebels into a heroic force
to be reckoned with.
The General faces
impossible odds against a powerful and ruthless government. Yet it is
those he meets on the journey – youthful idealists, feisty renegades
and, most of all, one remarkable teenager named Jose – who reveal to him
how courage and belief are forged even when justice seems lost.
Una crónica de la Guerra Cristera (1926-1929), que fue provocada por

toda regla, todos ellos deben decidir hasta qué punto están dispuestos a
ir y qué están dispuestos a arriesgar.
